Shaco is getting changed in the up comming patch but we don't know what the change is!

Riot Shaco has been my favorite champion for as long as I can remember. PLEASE don't ruin him like you ruined Eve... Eve was another of my favorite champions I played her all the time... now she is just a bad champion...

Shaco right now isn't perfect I admit he needs some changes but don't change certain things

Shiv can NOT be a skill shot! He already is one of the hardest champions to master don't make him harder! There is nothing you could give shiv that would be worth it if you made it a skill shot. Don't Remove Shaco's Clone! Don't remove fear from boxes! Don't remove the ability to trap with boxes! Don't Remove Shaco's invisibility on his Q don't change the mechanics on his Q at all. Change how it does damage if you want give it a different buff. But the jump then become invisible is one of the most fun spells in the game! If not the most fun spell... His early game damage is high but he is incredibly squishy so you have to be very careful about how you gank! He also guzzles mana early game so you have to be even more careful when you gank! So if you remove his damage early game he has to be less squishy and less of a mana guzzler or he will just become useless! His passive is awesome but highly unpredictable even for great players you never know when the enemy champion will turn or even what is considered their back. Would be nice if you could visually see where someones "back" is. Like you added in those backstab numbers but honestly I don't even see them =\

They better not chane my favorite jester too much, the only champ I love to play and now he needs some "improvement". He is, as been said, one of the most difficult champs to master already, please don't rape him with a skillshot or nerf his Q..

You want assassin's to be rewarded when making the right decisions leading to an outplay, shaco is already all about that, Q away, use clone/boxes , trick them in them.

It is Riot they will gut my Shaco.

I am sure meddler and his cronies will change his passive fixing the bug where he does more damage when your back is turned using the Hex items (just as the DT did) It is supposes to be just basic attacks and his shiv but Riot's spaghetti code is terrible.
I am sure they will ruin that fact that shaco can remain stealth using deceive when he uses his ult. In fact getting rid of AP's Shaco's helpful means when he is low in life to maximize his explosive damage. Or his small window of invulnerability when he ults.
I am sure they will get rid of AP as an option for those that are skilled shaco players.
I am sure they won't restore his range of his Q before it was nerfed or revert the terrible change to his shiv that excluding the non-bonus AD damage to his shiv that nerfed AP shaco slightly or revert the bug fix in which he could cast of items while stealth.
I am sure they won't revert the nerf to his jack in the box. Keeping it at a 60 second, rather than a 90 duration.

I totally expect Riot to keep the majority of the players quiet by making shaco a manaless champ and AD only. And/Or Making his clone have the ability to switch between the two as an excuse to not fixing the ability to easily discriminate between the two.

Yes I expect this kind of lazyiness on Riots part. And when it happens this long time league beta players is gone.

Trashing this game in every review. But it is disgraceful what they did to URF mode too. Making it non random while saying they did it to stop the same 20 champs being used when you saw Worlds which has the same issue in ranked. Riot balancing team is just that bad.

Morello was trash and so is meddler. Both need to be fired and never work in the gaming industry ever again. Morello ruined Guildwars.

Everyone remember Teemo? Remember how they gutted his shroom duration, shroom AP ratio, and have basically ignored his existence since then? And then, to add insult to injury, they threw in some useless bouncing buff as though it somehow made up for the sound gutting they gave Teemo.

The same thing is basically going to happen to Shaco. They're going to nerf everything about him that's unique and interesting, then throw some crappy "compensation" buffs into an area that didn't need changes in the first place. They're going to completely ignore every current bug with his kit and bandaid-fix it by removing the aspects of his kit that make those bugs possible. Rather than fixing the actual problem, they'll just throw out a perfectly good champion for the sake of convenience.

His Q range will be shorter, and the stealth duration will scale with level rather than be 3.5 sec at all ranks. His E AP ratio will be down, and his boxes will still be useless and 1-shotable late game. None of his clone issues will get fixed; they'll simply change how the clone works, probably removing the ability to dodge things with it, or the ability to use it while stealthed, and they'll most certainly lower the damage its explosion does.

Riot has this awful history of fucking over champions when they're slated for changes of this scale. I seriously doubt any current Shaco mains will want to play him after Riot is finished.
